1950 Map of Avon SE

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts a sharp diagonal across this arid Iron County landscape, marking the industrial connectivity of the mid-century West. To the southwest, the Antelope Range rises sharply, punctuated by the prominent Three Peaks and Upper Pt. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, including the uniquely named Dick Palmer Wash and its confluence at Tucker Dick Palmer Wash, alongside Iron Springs Creek. Scattered windmills suggest the ongoing importance of livestock and water management in this high-desert environment. The presence of Antelope Road and various land lines indicate a surveyed but sparsely populated territory, where geography is dictated by the availability of water and the path of the rail. These 1950 surveys, later updated with 1970s aerial data, provide a clear record of the area's infrastructure before significant modern expansion.
